I promised myself that I would finish the rest of my stories before I start this one but I couldn't resits!

I took a deep breath. Today was the last week of summer before school started and my mom made an agreement with the neighbors that I would babysit their kid. How bad can a 7 year old be? Well thinking back on the last time I babysat...bad! I needed to think about how the neighbors kid was like... All I knew is that it is a boy and he is said to need anger management...this will be one long day. Maybe I could call Bridgette and get out of it or something.
I couldn't take it anymore... "Mom" I yelled from my room. "I don't want to go to babysitting, okay?"
My mom ran to my room "Courtney you made a commitment! You will live by it until you finish it." There was no point arguing with her.
"Mom, what time do I have to babysit at?"I really didn't want to but my mom was right a commitment is a commitment.
"Five... and it is," She looked down at her watch "4:45... you should get there early. So get down there."
I reluctantly got up. I walked down stairs. I grabbed my phone from its charger.
"What time should I be back at?" I wanted it to be the shortest babysitting service I will give.
"When they get home... okay?" I nodded. In my household if I ignore my mom and dad, it will be like going to jail!
I walked out of my house toward the neighbors house. I rang their door bell. They came in a split second.
"Hey, you must be Courtney." I nodded "thank you for coming on such a late notice. Jerry and I are police officers and we just got called in..this late. Crazy isn't it? Our son is in his room. Right up the stairs, First room to your right. Oh, by the way I am Patty. Keep our some occupied we don't need him joining us at the station." I wasn't sure if the last part was a joke or if she was being serious. I looked around and slumped down on the couch. "Jerry, Hurry up!" I heard Patty yell, she walked outside
"Yes!" I was a man walk down the stairs. "Oh, you must be Courtney." He walked out of the door. "Good luck" he added the last part to either warn me or scare me. Well, I should go see who this little kid is and why his parents are wishing me luck. I walked to his room. Skulls were carved into the door. 'Oh man, a punker guy! and a little one!' I opened the door and walked in. There laying on the bed was a boy around MY age!! He was listening to music and running his finger through his faux hawk.
I knocked on the already opened door. He looked up and asked "Hello? Need help with anything?" His voice was harsh. "The bookstore is up the street." Ugh, why couldn't he babysit?
"Umm, who am I here to babysit?" He took off his headphones and walked toward me.
"Sweetheart, It is more like man sit"His voice seemed a little more rugged. Wait,man sit? I was babysitting a teen aged boy!? No way this guy is just playing around with me...right?
I laughed nervously "Don't call me that. Seriously where is the little 8 year old?" The boy walked over to his bed.
"Your looking at him." He stuck his arms out for emphasis. I don't need his help, I am a CIT...right?
"Well it looks like we are babysitting together, so what is your name?" I asked as politely as I could.
"Listen Princess. You are NOT getting it. I am not a babysitter. I have been to juvy..okay? You are babysitting ME! My parents don't trust me alone." He scoffed like he owned the place.
"Blasphemy! I'll go find the kid myself. And Princess," I repeated him "the name is Courtney" I walked away.
"Have fun finding him." I could hear him laughing. "By the way sweet cheeks the name is Duncan." Ugh I already knew that I would hate this guy.
I sighed, it was time to find this little toddler.
